I'm trying to get some advice on the most efficient lighting to install in a 4 bay agricultural barn - each bay is 20 by 36 feet and 15 feet to the eaves. The building is new and I want to do the best I can to install low energy fittings.
The advice I've had so far is to use 'low pressure sodium' lights in the 3 bays where the animals are and simple strip lights in the end bay which is a workshop and machinery store.
Does anyone have any comments? What exactly are low pressure sodium lights? How big a wattage do I need - they have recommended two per bay at eaves level in diagonally oposite corners? Would two stip lights be enough in the end bay? I have local lighting for working on machines etc.
